Such perverted "self-abuse" has surprising effects

Some training methods that go against the norm are called "anti-normal fitness methods", such as crawling, handstand and other unique methods. Modern science and countless facts have proven that participating in some abnormal exercises is very effective for fitness.

1. Inverted fitness method

Headstand has always been a method for monks throughout the ages to improve their health and mind. Medical experts believe that people who stand frequently are more likely to suffer from prolapse of internal organs, hemorrhoids, insufficient blood supply to the brain, low back disease, swollen feet and other diseases. Proper inverted exercises can prevent various illnesses caused by standing. At the same time, it can improve blood circulation, clear the brain, enhance the function of internal organs, and have a fitness effect of relaxing the body.

2. Backwards walking fitness method

From the perspective of modern sports science, backward walking has many benefits. One is that it can prevent hunchback, especially for growing teenagers. If you do backward walking exercises regularly, you can keep the waist muscles rhythmically tightening and relaxing, thereby improving blood circulation in the waist, organizing metabolism, and preventing and treating functional low back pain. Second, it can increase the bearing capacity of the knee joint and exercise the muscles and ligaments of the knee. Third, when walking backwards, you should practice direction, master balance, exercise the cerebellum which is responsible for balance, and increase and improve body flexibility and coordination function.

3. Barefoot walking fitness method

There are early records of physical therapy using barefoot walking, and there is also a theory of "plantar reflexology" today. Since the soles of the feet have sensory areas connected to the internal organs, walking barefoot can make the plantar muscle fascia, ligaments, acupoints and nerve endings contact with the sand, grass and uneven cobblestone surface of the ground as much as possible. In this way, the sensitive areas are stimulated, and the signals are transmitted to the corresponding internal organs and related cerebral cortex, and then to the effector organs, thereby regulating the functions of various parts of the human body, and ultimately achieving the miraculous effects of strengthening health, rehabilitation, disease prevention and auxiliary treatment.

4. Crawl Fitness

Practice has proved that crawling can facilitate blood circulation and disperse the body weight to the limbs, thereby greatly reducing the burden on the lumbar spine. If you do crawling exercises for a certain period of time every day, it can have a therapeutic and fitness effect on the symptoms of cardiovascular diseases and various spinal and lumbar diseases.

5. Walking in the rain

Compared to walking on a sunny day, walking in the rain has special fitness benefits. The basis for this is that a large amount of negative oxygen ions are produced when it rains, which can make people feel relaxed and happy, help regulate nerves and eliminate depression. Moreover, the gentle massage of the face and skin by the drizzle can enhance the body's resilience to the external environment.

6. Hanging exercise

American orthopedic expert Martin lets patients hook their feet on single or double bars or other fixed frames, hanging them upside down, to treat low back pain, leg pain, sciatica, arthritis, etc., and achieves satisfactory results. When the human body stands upright, due to the influence of the earth's gravity, the lumbar spine and lower joints are under pressure, which will cause back pain and leg pain over time. Hanging upside down can fully relax the waist, legs and joints, eliminate body stress, and thus can cure diseases and improve health.

7. Water running fitness method

The resistance in water is 12-14 times greater than the air resistance on the ground. Water running is not too intense. If you can persist in water running for a long time, it can greatly promote metabolism, speed up the decomposition of glycogen in the body, and prevent excessive fat accumulation. For those who are thin, it can also enhance appetite, promote the normal functioning of the digestion and absorption system, and increase body weight moderately.

8. Alternating Fitness

This is a new fitness concept and method: if you usually work with your right hand, it is recommended that you exercise with your left hand frequently to avoid leaving the right cerebral cortex "barren". The "up and down alternating method" means that in addition to daily upper limb activities, you should especially move your toes frequently and let your toes do some delicate movements such as clamping things. There are also alternating cardiopulmonary exercises, alternating hot and cold exercises, and alternating logical thinking and image thinking exercises.
